This issue is ok. Its not the best Spawn issue but at the same time, it's not terrible. The biggest problem I had with it is that the Chain Gang storyline is starting to drag. Not much happens in this issue, as the Spawns just continue to battle it out. I believe there are some nice hints of things to come, but theres not enough meat on this bone for me. One aspect of this issue that really stands out is the artwork by Carlo Barberi. Its beautiful and really pops off the page. Read Full Review

Spawn #317- If you need to catch up on all things Spawn, then check out Spawn: Compendium that came out recently. It collects Spawn #1-50, and is a wonderful down and dirty on the origin of Spawn. It comes out just in time to be in concert with what is coming up in the Spawn Universe. The crescendo must be building, but this one was a bit stale. Obvious campy chatter, and not as much detail in the pens and pencils that we are used to seeing. The bar is too high in this game"or rather the meter is climbing up (Spawn fans will get that), so keep it there Todd! Read Full Review
